Didn't know what a choke is, looked at wiki:
In electronics, a choke is an inductor used to block higher-frequency alternating current(AC) in an electrical circuit, while passing lower-frequency or direct current (DC). A choke usually consists of a coil of insulated wire often wound on a magnetic core, although some consist of a donut-shaped "bead" of ferrite material strung on a wire. The choke's impedance increases with frequency. Its low electrical resistance passes both AC and DC with little power loss, but it can limit the amount of AC due to its reactance.
How do I size/select a choke?
thanks, Brian
that's a great question! no idea i used the one that came with an old treadmill and the one i just bought works with treadmills that have a similar hp motor. other than that hopefully an electrically competent member will chime in!
